What the pass includes · How to read it: one past year, not a catchment
What the figures show
- Every applicant was offered a Year 7 place in 2026, as was the case at all 11 other Cambridgeshire secondary schools with a published Year 7 2026 outcome.
- A last distance was published for Year 7 in 2 of the 5 earlier years with a published outcome, so 2026 was not the pattern in every year.
- For Year 7 in 2026 there were 169 first-choice applications for 179 offers; every first-choice family was offered a place, and 10 offers went to families who ranked it second or lower.
- In 2024/25, 47% of pupils got grade 5 or above in GCSE English and maths (England 45%), the 3rd lowest of 9 schools: this one and the 8 nearest secondary schools in Cambridgeshire.
